    Kursk submarine by Fly model

    This would be an incredible achievement at any scale, guys! I am more and more impressed with the degree of detail that card model designers are incorporating into their models these days, truly something I don't think was attempted even a decade or so earlier. Must be the computer software...

    I-36 + four Kaiten japanense submarine

    Very nice reconstruction! I agree, the elimination of the tabs and using a joining strip on the inside of the hull sections has given you a neater and more even finish for the joints of the hull. You are doing a wonderful job and in a reduced size! Looking forward to seeing more...

    Kaiser Wilhelm's Yacht Meteor

    Yes, Max was quite an excellent modeler. His build thread was and continues to be an inspiration to me. His masts on Cleo using just paper rolled tightly was the first time I saw someone do this, and he did a magnificent job of it. He is sorely missed.... Jim
